    This is one that I was inspired to write when I was trying to jog around our driveway, for exercise. But my brain was energized to exercise its poetry powers by the wind that kept sweeping  over our ridge top. 🙂 Enjoy and critique as always!

     

    Free with the Wind
    The air about me is alive
    There’s joy inside none could describe
    It’s scented with grace and steeped in freedom

    It is just one of those days
    When Creation breathes out Your praise
    The wind whelms me in its voice
    Your joy and life fills me. I’ve no choice

    My hair is twirling ’round my face
    The song inside swells . My soul lacks the space.
    My lips now burst aloud with song
    My feet can’t help but start dancing along

    I just have to dance and sing
    The hills with a harmony ring
    My heart throbs with a thrill
    I can’t remain standing still
    I just dance free with the wind

    Once I was dying in my sin
    Once I couldn’t have danced with the wind
    Now there’s a hope and joy I can’t keep within

    Since Jesus set this poor soul free
    Since He gave life a new purity
    There is purpose and pleasure in what He made

    So I can smile and can sing.
    I’ll trust in You. You made everything.

    It is just one of those days
    When Creation breathes out Your praise
    The wind whelms me in its voice
    Your joy and life fills me. I’ve no choice

    My lips now burst aloud with song
    My feet can’t help but start dancing along

    I just have to dance and sing
    The hills with a harmony ring
    My heart throbs with a thrill
    I can’t remain standing still
    I just dance free with the wind

    When I see Your hand in creation
    When I know freedom’s declaration
    My soul explodes in freedom’s celebration

    My lungs fill with the air’s freshness
    My eyes sparkle with the brightness
    This liberty of life exhilarates me.
